Inserting text

Post by mjwiese » Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:03 pm

Not a software expert. Had to move to a smaller screen on a new computer. When I use text insert command the box that opens up is too large for my smaller screen and I have to manually make that popup screen smaller just to access the "OK" button How can I make that screen smaller so each time, I enter text I want and have access to the OK button?

Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum.

A physical smaller or bigger screen is not really the issue it is the horizontal and vertical resolution that matters.
How 'small' is yours?
See: https://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/faq#What_ ... atform_XY?

Your problem may be an unsolvable one because a new QDialog is created each time based on TextDialog.ui.
https://github.com/qcad/qcad/blob/maste ... tDialog.ui
This QWidget was 833 x 584px large and this was adapted to 570 x 584px about a year ago.
The UI can't be set smaller than 821 x 499 because of some fixed content.
Even then the last position and size are not retained as it starts over from scratch.

Regards,
CVH
